DRAFT Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL) Targeted for Consultation
The Migration Strategy notes the Government will replace the Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa with a new Skills in Demand (SID) visa, which will include a Specialist Skills Pathway, a Core Skills Pathway and an Essential Skills Pathway. The CSOL is one of the criteria for the SID visa and will target the Core Skills Pathway to Australia’s workforce needs. The CSOL will operate in a similar manner to the Skilled Migration Occupation Lists for the TSS482 visa.
